To The Grave launch punishing new single ‘Torture Porn’

Today, To The Grave, the world’s preeminent vegan deathcore band, are proud to launch their new track, ‘TORTURE PORN‘, the third single taken from their upcoming BLKIIBLK debut album, “LIBERATION FRONT”, set for release on 2nd October. The new single arrives alongside an official lyric video, available to view below.

On the new single, vocalist Dane Evans shares:
“‘TORTURE PORN’ might be the biggest fight riff song we have. Lyrically, I wanted to state as bluntly as possible that we don’t care if you hate us, what we stand for or how we choose to stand for it; TTG hates you too. Enjoy the song. Everyone’s still a murderer.”

Since forming in 2010, To The Grave have become one of Australia’s most uncompromising heavy exports, earning acclaim for crushing releases including “Global Warning“, “Epilogue“, “Director’s Cuts“, and 2024’s “Everyone’s a Murderer“. Armed with a singular mission to confront animal cruelty and environmental destruction through some of modern metal’s most punishing deathcore, the Sydney outfit have forged a reputation for pairing unrelenting heaviness with fearless activism. Their live assault has taken them around the globe alongside Lorna Shore, Thy Art Is Murder, Shadow of Intent, Carnifex, Oceano, and more, with Revolver hailing them as “one of the country’s heaviest exports” and Distorted Sound calling them “one of the most intense, enthralling bands the genre can offer.”

Now, the band returns with “LIBERATION FRONT”, their fifth album and BLKIIBLK debut, a statement of pure intent. Brutal and uncompromising in both sound and message, To The Grave transform their death metal-infused assault into a vehicle for activism, raging against animal cruelty and environmental destruction while delivering their most direct and fully realized work to date. From the breakdown-laden opener ‘MEAT THE HUMANS‘, “LIBERATION FRONT” marks a ferocious return to the band’s deathcore roots. While recent releases leaned further into hardcore, the new album embraces deathcore at its most savage and relentless.

Evans comments about the album:
“‘LIBERATION FRONT’ was born as a concept on tour last year in Australia after we decided we wanted to make the sequel to ‘Director’s Cuts.’ What came out was something between that and a more pissed off brother to ‘Everyone’s A Murderer.’ It’s got so many things I love about the band and a bit of everything pushed to 100 with a really bleak kind of aggression that’s just reaching for your throat the entire time. Very keen to play some of these songs live and it’s an exciting chapter to add.”

The entire run will be supported by Face Yourself and on select dates by the likes of I Declare War, Tracheotomy, Backbiter, Squelching and Ameonna (the new band featuring former Chelsea Grin members Alex Koehler, Jake Harmond and Pablo Viveros, making their live debut). Find a full list of dates and more information here.

Bassist Matt Clarke exclaims:
“These are the heaviest lineups we’ve ever put together, and we can’t wait for these shows across North America and at home in Aus. For North America, all these bands have a different approach, but the one thing that brings it all together is intensity! We’re stoked to be teaming up with Crown Magnetar for this run, and having Face Yourself on the package just makes it more crushing. We’re very excited that we get to play with OG Chelsea Grin members back on-stage for the first time in Ameonna, and I Declare Warhopping on for some shows is awesome! Backbiter, Tracheotomy, and Squelching will all bring their own brands of brutality to the tour. No matter what show you’re hitting, you’re in for a treat.”

“LIBERATION FRONT” is more than an album; it is a musical and lyrical call to arms, designed not only to rage against the machine but to educate, provoke, and challenge listeners on every level. Combining their most savage deathcore material to date with an unwavering commitment to animal liberation and environmental activism, “LIBERATION FRONT” stands as To The Grave’s definitive statement: fierce, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.

As Evans puts it, “this is our way of establishing order. The band is built around our way of doing things and to me this title is just waving that flag. These songs are about direct action, open rescue, abolition and liberation by any means necessary.”
